First Imp Guard

Ok, this is my first Imp Guard that I've painted, and now that I think about it, the first WIP I've posted on this board

So, I did a theme similar to what I've done with the Ultramarines that I have, as this is going to be an Imp Guard army that the Ultramarine worlds send, from this in the UM fluff:
"In the case of Ultramar however, the Ultramarines rule so efficiently and are so prosperous that they maintain several hundred regiments ready to join the Imperial Guard when needed. As a result regiments have fought all over the galaxy, often in campaigns alongside the Ultramarines themselves."



thoughts?

Very Cool!

Not bad at all, the flesh looks a bit dark though, but it seems that is the style you go for on a lot of your minis.

He'll look great on the tabletop!

Ok, I painted a bit today since I didn't want to go out in the snow, and this is the full unit (sorry about the bad pic, I'm still trying to get a grasp on taking pics of minis....)



Oh, and Matt, yeah his skin is a little dark, though I think the way I'm taking the pics makes it look darker. Though, for some reason, out of everything, skin seems to be the most difficult thing for me to paint....

they look pretty good. for skin using ink washes help me a lot.

It looks as if an ink wash has been used, but applied too thickly or something.

It needs to lighten up again unless that is the tone you are going for.

Well, it's not exactly the look I'm going for, but when I use it watered down more, it never defines the details on the face... Usually I use just water and Flesh Wash. This was Flesh Wash, a very small amount of Chestnut Ink, and water. Though, the camera did make it look a little darker than it is... Not enough to make a difference with much, but enough to where it isn't as dark as it seems....
